Ther Adv Med Oncol. 2015 Mar;7(2):56-62. doi: 10.1177/1758834014567117.

OBJECTIVES: ALK-EML4 translocation is an established driver aberration in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with reported predilection for cases with signet ring histology. We assessed the presence of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangements in signet ring cancers arising...

Bias and variance reduction in estimating the proportion of true-null hypotheses.

Biostatistics (Oxford, England)

Cheng Y, Gao D, Tong T.
PMID: 24963010
Biostatistics. 2015 Jan;16(1):189-204. doi: 10.1093/biostatistics/kxu029. Epub 2014 Jun 23.

When testing a large number of hypotheses, estimating the proportion of true nulls, denoted by π(0), becomes increasingly important. This quantity has many applications in practice. For instance, a reliable estimate of π(0) can eliminate the conservative bias of...

Depletion of tumor-associated macrophages slows the growth of chemically induced mouse lung adenocarcinomas.

Frontiers in immunology

Fritz JM, Tennis MA, Orlicky DJ, Lin H, Ju C, Redente EF, Choo KS, Staab TA, Bouchard RJ, Merrick DT, Malkinson AM, Dwyer-Nield LD.

Front Immunol. 2014 Nov 25;5:587. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2014.00587. eCollection 2014.

Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for lung cancer, and low-dose aspirin intake reduces lung cancer risk. However, the roles that specific inflammatory cells and their products play in lung carcinogenesis have yet to be fully elucidated. In mice,...

Non-invasive imaging to monitor lupus nephritis and neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple different organs, including the kidneys and central nervous system (CNS). Conventional radiological examinations in SLE patients include volumetric/ anatomical computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and...

Expected Power for the False Discovery Rate with Independence.

Communications in statistics: theory and methods

Glueck DH, Muller KE, Karimpour-Fard A, Hunter L.
PMID: 20975846
Commun Stat Theory Methods. 2008 Jan;37(12):1855-1866. doi: 10.1080/03610920801893731.

The Benjamini-Hochberg procedure is widely used in multiple comparisons. Previous power results for this procedure have been based on simulations. This article produces theoretical expressions for expected power. To derive them, we make assumptions about the number of hypotheses...

Live multicellular tumor spheroid models for high-content imaging and screening in cancer drug discovery.

Current chemical genomics and translational medicine

Reid BG, Jerjian T, Patel P, Zhou Q, Yoo BH, Kabos P, Sartorius CA, Labarbera DV.

The multi cellular tumor spheroid (MCTS) model has been used for decades with proven superiority over monolayer cell culture models at recapitulating in vivo tumor growth. Yet its use in high-throughput drug discovery has been limited, particularly with image...

Immunotherapeutic implications of the immunophenotype of pediatric brain tumors.

Oncoimmunology

Griesinger AM, Donson AM, Foreman NK.
PMID: 24575386
Oncoimmunology. 2014 Jan 01;3(1):e27256. doi: 10.4161/onci.27256.

The cytofluorometric analysis of dissociated tumor samples identified distinct immunophenotypes among the most common variants of pediatric brain tumor. These findings suggest that immunotherapeutic regimens against pediatric brain malignancies should be tailored to individual tumor types.

PPARγ Promotes Growth and Invasion of Thyroid Cancer Cells.

PPAR research

Wood WM, Sharma V, Bauerle KT, Pike LA, Zhou Q, Fretwell DL, Schweppe RE, Haugen BR.
PMID: 22194735
PPAR Res. 2011;2011:171765. doi: 10.1155/2011/171765. Epub 2011 Dec 12.

Undifferentiated (anaplastic) thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the most aggressive human malignancies and no effective therapy is currently available. We show here that PPARγ levels are elevated in cells derived from ATC. Depletion of PPARγ in HTh74 ATC...

Global Decrease of Histone H3K27 Acetylation in ZEB1-Induced Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Lung Cancer Cells.

Cancers

PMID: 24216980
Cancers (Basel). 2013 Apr 03;5(2):334-56. doi: 10.3390/cancers5020334.

The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) enables epithelial cells with a migratory mesenchymal phenotype. It is activated in cancer cells and is involved in invasion, metastasis and stem-like properties. ZEB1, an E-box binding transcription factor, is a major suppressor...

Endometrial cancer is the most common invasive gynecologic malignancy in developed countries. The most prevalent endometrioid tumors are linked to excessive estrogen exposure and hyperplasia. However, molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying their etiology and pathophysiology remain poorly understood....
